When black voters gave President Barack Obama 93 percent support on Election Day in defiance of predictions that they might sit it out this year, black leaders breathed a collective sigh of relief.

That encouraged those leaders to try to leverage more attention from both Obama and Congress. Although they waver over how much to demand from the president particularly in light of defeated GOP challenger Mitt Romney's assertion that Obama gave "gifts" to minorities in exchange for their votes  they are delivering postelection wish lists to the president anyway.

"I think the president heard us loud and clear. The collective message was, 'Let's build on where we already are,'" the Rev. Al Sharpton told reporters after a White House meeting last week with a collection of advocates representing largely Democratic constituencies.

... they are delivering postelection wish lists to the president anyway.

Good luck with that ..... Obama didn't do all that much for them when he needed their votes - now he doesn't need them at all. Obama trades on his 'black half' ancestry for immunity from anything and everything a 'white guy' president would be hounded with by the presstitutes. He grew up 'foreign', not within the civil rights movement - he has little in common with 'American blacks' and uses them shamelessly, but doesn't do much to improve their condition.

Must be; the welfare reservations near me (especially Newark, NJ) are poorer and more violent than four years ago. Blacks in this country have nothing to cheer about; a lot that had started to make their way into the middle class just got shoved back onto the dependence plantation...

The one clue that leads me to think that maybe obama is still more of a "community organizer racist rabble rouser", rather than a serious "marxist", is the fact that he's showing no signs of discarding his black following.

If he were a serious Marxist, and now that he's been re-elected, he would no longer have a need for them, and would start stripping away their "bennies".

But he shows no signs of doing that at all, proving that he's just the next level of a long history of black race-baiters. Follow the money.

He's been given the key to the vault and he's ready to take from everyone who is not black, and make of for years of slavery oppression that his half-white ass never experienced.

His total narccissism rules the day, he needs the attention desparately, and will do or say anything to get it and retain his power and perks.

Just as Vigilante poster has said, the Hispanics/Latinos have way overpowered “African -Americans”, and the “African-Americans” have done , or said NOTHING to try to stop them. The Hispanics/Latinos don’t shoot and kill their brothers, and I would bet the abortions are miniscule too. So, African-Americans, take a back seat to the Hispanics/Latinos.

Had they “sat it out” they would have more leverage with the Democrat Party, By voting at 93% they merely demonstrate that they are a reliable source ov votes no matter what they get or don’t get for it.

American Blacks are certainly not the sharpest of knives in the drawer. They remain....and will remain permanently adrift at sea under Obama. Obama could care less about them........now that he has gotten their votes. Just plain & simple fools....they are!!! Go figure!!! They have no leverage whatsoever and have done a magnificent job of stranding themselves politically, with no resulting benefit!!!

Black voters are the pro-abortion arm of the Evangelical voter. Whites vote for life. Blacks vote for welfare, defending life not even on the radar for them. The vast majority of Planned Parenthood baby killing mills are located in or near black neighborhoods all over America. Courtesy of democrats, blacks can abort their children 24 hours a day, for a couple of dollars. Thank democrats for desroying the pro-life community in black America.

YOur first sentenece sums up bama'sw modus operandi. Now that he doesn't need their votes, they won't even exist as far as he will be concerned. Whores like Sharpton and Co., will be sadly disappointed.

“Blacks made up 13 percent of the electorate this year, about the same as 2008, while participation among whites shrank slightly to 72 percent and Hispanics increased to 10 percent, national exit polls showed.’

When black voters gave President Barack Obama 93 percent support on Election Day

93%? That's IT? The dems have got some serious work ahead of them. It's called the "margin of error" (voting booth errors, that is). I think the other 7% intended to vote dem; it's just that the dems need to redouble their efforts to train these buffoons in the simple mechanics of the voting booth.

They seem to have it down to a science in Philadelphia, Cleveland, etc. It must be the rural clowns that are having trouble voting right, er left.

(Diversity is great; until it happens to YOU.)

The block vote of racist blacks for Obama was 100 percent in hundreds of precincts in Philly and Cleveland, so the 93 percent figure quoted in this article is probably low.

Obama already has racist policies favoring blacks, such as AG Eric”my people” Holder excluding white Americans from federal hate crime protection against racist violence, racist quotas for school discipline problems because too many black students are punished for thuggish behavior, and new Draconian “disparate impact” rules that automatically consider any under representation of blacks in any favorable category to be illegal, so I donno what else he can do to favor voters of his race that he hasnt done already.

I guess the Disparate Impact laws could be extended to violent crime where the laws against murder have a disparate impact on black males who are the most violent demographic of them all.

Perhaps Obama could decree that every other black murderer should not be arrested or incarcerated to lower the disparate impact of murder statutes?Or maybe he will issue an executive order to arrest innocent whites along with guilty blacks to even out this “racist” disparate impact?

Sound far fetched? Just wait. The loony racist left is never satisfied with their extreme race dogma. It must be ratcheted up to even more extreme positions when ever possible.

“The Hispanics/Latinos dont shoot and kill their brothers, and I would bet the abortions are miniscule too.”

In my experience (I live near and work in towns with large Puerto Rican, Dominican, and Brazilian populations), this statement is mostly right: plenty of violent crimes, but more stabbings than outright gun battles. Also plenty of births to single mothers in their teens and twenties — with law enforcement, government healthcare, and bennies for the kids/moms, a great, big circle-jerk of claims on the taxpayer.

The problem with the black community is that they are the least educated of all the different ethnic groups comprising the population. The bulk of jobs has shifted from primarily low trained and heavy labor-intensive jobs to information and skill-intensive jobs. Those least prepared to work in the new paradigm i.e. Blacks, will suffer the most.

Good luck with that. The Kenyan doesn’t need them anymore. Ask Ohio how that’s working out for them. Sudden jump in unemployment. Scheduled cuts to food stamps. Gas prices jumped 15% in most areas the morning after the election.
